Apart from the "look" and filling your gaping hole I'd seriously consider a Tirfor type for the usage you describe instead

I think it's worth remembering that if you do fit forward facing seats in a vehicle that had side facing or no rear seats the legal requirements also change and just fitting them and bolting them to the floor may get you through an MOT but doesn't necessarily make them legal.

Or after tapping,screw a hose fitting into it connect a hose routed somewhere high and pretend you meant to do it all along and it's not a bodge at all honest ;)

Hello Simon fancy meeting you here ;) It's not the most comfortable with a sort of twisted sideways sitting position, definitely more Ryan Air economy than BA club class, but if you fit two you can stop every so often and swap passengers from one side to the other to even out the numbness. I...

Have you thought about just changing the Pistons and seals? there are rebuild kits with stainless pistons available. I'm not saying it's the way to go but it is an option worth considering.

Or............you could use an impact wrench to tighten them:rolleyes:................don't do this!!!

Yeah those punches are good! (Depending on quality as always)

Yep first thing that came off mine.........well apart from a large lump of the front diff, powder that used to be the door bottoms and the bits of metal that used to fill the holes now in the rear crossmember o_O

Yep +1

To be honest i quite like the ceiling blue.

Yeah that's a good episode. Childish I get. But the doing all that technical stuff and good fabrication but not doing the brakes bit doesn't sit well with me. Have you seen the Prius tow/trailer one? I think they were very lucky to not be facing vehicular manslaughter charges with that one...

? I thought they didn't issue MOT certificates any more you just get a printout from the garage and the rest is online.

Are the diffs the same ratio in MOD and civvy James?

Yeah Project Binky is great! As for road kill I want to like it but I find it really fing annoying to watch when they just end up wrecking stuff and acting like annoying tools, which I guess is dictated by the format/target audience (sad really as the are both very accomplished mechanics)...

Or you can make some out of string and cardboard but they'll probably be a bit rubbish ;) Loads on ebay though, wide range of prices.Or if you are any good with a welder easy enough to make.

Very common! Do a search for dislocation cones.

I've seen a clear plastic bottle used with a suitably sized neck or modded top used to more clearly see the spray pattern, which if you set up four and link the injectors to a pump you can see differences more easily and compare volume each injector shift over a set time.

Have you tried heating the wax with a hair dryer? Should make it easier to remove with a bristle brush or at least smooth it out.

Tint your windows yourself is the cheapest option I should imagine.

A larger intercooler isn't necessarily going to flow more air as you are still restricted by the plumbing either side of it, what it should do is provide a larger surface area for cooling the charge thus help lower the intake temp and cylinder/piston temp etc (which may mean you can run more...
